>http://lifeofageekadmin.com/how-to-set-your-virtualbox-vm-to-automatically-startup/>thanks, the other link helped but there are still errors in all the
various instructions
one error not noted was the /etc/defaults/virtualbox file it - cannot

it should be
# virtualbox defaults file
VBOXAUTOSTART_DB=/etc/vbox
VBOXAUTOSTART_CONFIG=/etc/vbox/autostart.cfg
My server has a very well exercised reboot as I have finally got it done
Thanks for all the pointers, finally have something that seems to be
reliable.
